MILKING-PAIL AND COVER THEREFOR.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be itvknown that I, HARLOW Gr. PURINTON, a citizen. of the United States, residing at RoXborough, Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania,

have invented new and useful Improvements in Milking-Pails and Covers l herefor, of which, the following is a specification.

The invention relates to a milking receptacle, and more particularly to the class of milking pails and covers therefor, the same being an improvement in the construction vision of a pail and cover therefor wherein the contents of the pail can be dispensed without the removal of the cover, and while in the act of milking the milk will freely enter the pail free from insects, dirt, dust, or other foreign matter.

. A still further object of the invention is the provision of a pail and covertherefor which are simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and-efficient in their purpose, strong, durable, and inexpensive in manufacture.

With these and other objects in View, the

invention consists in the construction, comblnatlon and arrangement of parts as Wlll be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claim'hereunto appended.

- In the drawing :-Figure 1 is a perspec-- tive view of a pail and cover therefor constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective View looking toward Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.

Referring to the drawing in detail, 5 des- Gopies of this patent may be obtained for Specification of Letters Patent.

- readily poured from the said ignates a pail body which can be of any desirable shape, and has fitted thereon a cover body 6 formed to provide an annular depend mg flange 7 adjacent its periphery and telesooped. within theamouth of the pail when the cover is'arranged in position thereon. The cover body 6 is depressed to' provide a funnel 8 having a central cup 9 which is struck inwardly therefrom and is provided with a central hole or opening 10 containing a foraminous or reticulated strainer 11 which is-suitably mounted in the said hole or opening.

Formed in the cover body 6 between its peripheral edge and the opening or hole 10 is an upwardly bulged portion 12 roviding Patented May 2,1916.

' Application filed July 26, 1915. Serial No. 41,965.

a pouring spout 13, the flange 7 ,eing cut away at the point of the spout so as to not interfere with the pouring, of the contents of the pail body on the tilting thereof. At the inner end of the spout l3 and formed in the side of the cup or well 9 is-a f raminous or reticulatedstrainer 14 which permits the free entrance of the milk dur ig tl e milking operation in to the pail body vicnout possibility of the entrance of dust, dirt, foreign matter or insects therein, thereby assuring the contents thoroughly sanitary.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that the cover normally fits tight upon the pail;. that the cover is held in place while the pail is used in the milking operation; that the milk will be strained when entering the pail, and that the milk can be pail without removing the cover.

What is claimed is:

The combination witha pail, a cover body depressed to form a funnel and having a cupshaped center provided with a reticulated-opening in its bottomand side, and an upwardly bulged portion struck from the depressed portion of the cover body between the periphery and the cup to form apouring spout.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
